  1. is a state of unconsciousness a way to expand same? I doubt it. stupid is still stupid.

  2. “expanding the consciousness of human beings.” by literally burying your head in the sand.

    1. When you mentioned liberal art, I expected to see a painting drawn with a bloody rag.

      This is much better, I hope they brought the dirt in from an oil landfill.

  3. “You will eat bread by the sweat of your forehead till you return to the ground — for you were taken out of it: you are dust, and you will return to dust.”
    – God’s words to Adam Genesis 3 (CJB)

    1. “They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator–who is forever praised. Amen.”

      Romans 1:25, NIV

    1. “Sshh. Mental illness is happening.” You identified exactly what is happening here.

  5. I’d have found it that much more believable (expanding consciousnous), had she shown us a true case or Rectal Cranial inversion….

    Art…?? my (_i_)

  8. Some single mom waitress is kept from her kids, cause she needs to work extra hours for “Art Grants “. Or a trucker lives in his truck 3 out of 4 weeks, for decades, or a small buisness owner looks at the books and grim numbers at 10 o’clock at night, massaging his chest cause we are all wipped tax donkeys for these parasites.

  9. If it was my art installation I would have a second woman with her head up the arse of the woman with her head in the dirt, then a third woman with her head up the arse of the second and so on making a great circle back to the pile of dirt where the last woman would appear to be emerging from the dirt with her head up the arse of the woman in front of her. I would call it “the emerging consciousness of feminism”. And I’m here until Friday.

    1. Now, that is some art I could get ‘behind’.

      I would even be willing to chip in a few bucks myself to hire some proctologists to make your vision a reality.

    2. I like your idea… but when I read your description the name that came to mind is “The Circle of Left”.

  10. People who behaved this way in the more sensible past were put into a nuthouse …. with their peers.

  11. ‘Sometimes life can be a dirty bitch’
    Look at those who came to watch her play in the dirt. They are far too serious to laugh out loud or watch her for the mere entertainment value. Pity really, a few sharp comments from the gallery could have made it a hoot.

  12. I would sell water balloons from about 10 feet behind her. They would be my expression of a ‘public art critique’ in action.

  13. Artists like Michelangelo and composers such as Mozart have just been dethroned as representatives of the best of human civilization. The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and the opera Don Giovanni are insignificant in comparison with an artiste shoving her head into a pile of dirt.

    By the way, that recent earth tremor? That was Sir Kenneth Clark rolling in his grave.

  15. Don’t look now but the insanity is spreading as liberals try to hide from the truth

  16. A true artist would have crafted a “Kick Me” sign (in a tasteful font) and taped it to her behind.

    Now that might inspire a real performance.

    1. well I wasn’t thinking “kick me”, my thought were alone the line of doing, and leaving her 50 bucks for service!!!!!

  17. The destruction has already happened at least a hundred years ago, on a broad front.

    The people who fired the first salvos were the most guilty, since they should have known better. Many of them actually really were great artists, but just went awry in their experimentation: Picasso, Stravinsky, TS Eliot. Mostly they tried to destroy what they saw as constraints on the art that took centuries to achieve. They did not realize that those were really norms that defined the art, no more constraining than the language itself constrains the poetry. Picasso went away from realistic representation into childish rendering, Stravinsky went away from the major scales into atonal cacophony, and Eliot went away from rhyme and rhythm into prose written in lines. They were great enough artists to still be able to create something meaningful, but far less than those they tried to rebel against, Michelangelo, Beethoven, Shakespeare. Or Monet, Mussorgsky, Yeats. (The latter set did experiment with forms, but in the classical tradition.) The ones who followed them were less great, and deteriorated with each generation, until they knew nothing about traditional art at all, and are presiding over the destruction of art, one of the inheritances we have from Greece that made western civilization the greatest accomplishment of mankind. These artists do not “rebel” from drawing an orange, all they can do is paint an orange blob. They do not “rebel” from songs, all they can do is scream out insults. They do not “rebel” against poems, they cannot even write a decent line of prose.

    And their latest efforts are directed toward STEM and logic, both of which having been denounced as racist.

    1. Throughout history, it seems that every new artist or composer is quickly denounced as being untalented or worse.

      Beethoven, for example, set the musical world on its ear with some of his compositions. His Third Symphony (the Eroica) upset people with its dissonance in the opening movement and, yet, it is regarded as a masterpiece nowadays. His opera Fidelio (originally titled Leonora) was revised three times before it became a hit.

      In his latter years, though, audiences and critics became accustomed to him producing the unexpected, which might have been one reason why his Ninth Symphony was considered a triumph when it was premiered. The use of a chorus as part of the final movement (based on Schiller’s poem An die Freude) was unconventional but the audience gave him a standing ovation. (The story is told that, because he was completely deaf by then, someone had to turn him around to see the people cheering and applauding.)

      1. and back to the girl with her head in the dirt…not exactly a ninth symphony effort.

        1. Exactly. Beethoven was deaf for much of his life so, in effect, he composed his later works in his head, in complete silence, making his music all the more remarkable. By comparison, composers like Mozart, J. S. Bach, and Franz Joseph Haydn could try out their tunes on whatever instruments they had on hand.

          By the way, Beethoven wasn’t the only deaf composer that I’m aware of. Bedrich Smetana also lost his hearing and, if I understand correctly, his set of compositions Ma Vlast (of which, perhaps, The Moldau is the best known) was written after he went completely deaf.

          By comparison, how much talent or imagination does it take to stick one’s head in a pile of dirt?

      2. I don’t recall denouncing Picasso, Stravinsky, or Eliot as “untalented or worse.” In fact, I said they actually were really great artists. I was arguing against their destruction of art by destroying the underlying basis, if you will, for the art even as language is the basis for poetry. They might have known what they were doing, but Picasso eventually begot this idiot who stuck her head in a pile of sand and called it art.

        1. Don’t forget that Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring wasn’t just considered unconventional, it was seen as degenerate by some because of its subject matter. If I correctly recall the accounts about that that I’ve heard, it nearly caused riots.

          Yet, if you listen to his other works, such as Firebird or his concerto Dumbarton Oaks, he was quite conventional. His arrangement of the tune Happy Birthday is a treat to listen to.

  20. Check out some of the ‘installations’ on King St West in Toronto. Egads!

  21. I have to admit I sped up through some parts.

    Did the children witnessing this have to write a review of the art when they returned to class? Certainly the teacher would give glowing grades to the few kids that saw this as the artist did, and for the other 19 kids who saw this as borderline idiocy and without merit, would be graded harshly.
    I’m certain of it. I took art class in high school, back in the 70’s.

  22. What’s the scoop her?
    She IS a pile of dirt?
    She wants to be a pile of dirt?
    The heteronormative patriarchy is a pile of dirt?
    Her work is not worth a pile of dirt?

    The possibilities are endless 🙂

  23. Ottawa’s National Gallery has a couple of close competitors. (1) A bungee cord strung diagonally across an open room from the floor at one corner, to the ceiling at the corner opposite. And (2), a pile of random scraps of carpet underlay, perhaps 5 or 6 feet across and 4 feet high, dumped in the middle of a gallery. Of course, they have the obligatory white painting on a white canvas to thrill the patrons. And people pay for this???

    1. I guess that “diversity is our strength” applies to artistic expression, eh?

  24. for me “art” is a flat plane crank V8 turning 12000 RPM as that sumbitch comes out of the corner!!!!

    1. My late father was a machinist and he built model engines for a hobby. I inherited several of them and the precision, craftsmanship, and detail that went into them was pure artistry.

  25. She must be a hoot at parties. “Hey Bob! Your wife’s weirdo friend is in the garden moving the cucumber patch again.”

  26. All too soon we will all be getting our own dirt nap, no need to pretend it is needed sooner.
